Death of Mrs. Orville r. Calhoun.

1t is with heartfelt sorrow, that we announce
the death of Mrs. OrviIlc T. Calhoun, ut the
residence of her father, DR.. j. y. Gilbert, near
Bordeaux, OH Friday last, after short illness.
The funeral services were held on Saturday,
ut Wellington church, in the presence OF IL
large circle Of relatives and friends, 10y Inc
Rev. ]. O. Lindsay, assisted by the Rev. VIM.
II. Iancke Mr.. Lindsay preached an earn,
est and impressive sermon, and Mr.. llahche'
made beautiful and touching address.
The circumstances attending her last illness
and death, were incXprcsSbly sad, when con-
trasted with the bright and joyous lutur''
which little less than two years ago. seemed
about to crown, the young ana oeauIhui
bride. Alas! joy and sorrow from the warp
and woof of our daily life, and misiortnhcs
come when our skies seem brightest lie
merry marriage bells and the orange blossoms
rive place to funeral wreaths, and to the dark
and silent grave.
Sorrows come not singly, and we all remem'
ber, how a few short months ago, our sympa'
thes went forth in behalf of the young mis-
tress of the once happy house, who when she
least expected it, was bcreft of the Stay ana
solace of her married life-the idolizcd hSs
band, around whom clustered the hopes ana
sympathies of the nearest and dearest OF
earthly ties; and now she follows him to the
tomb "rhey were lovely and pleasant in
their lives, and in death, they were not diVid'
cd"
The deceased was a lady of more than ordi'
nary accomplishments. TO the charms OF
lovely person she added the best qualities OF
mind and boort-the praces of an attractive
and genial department; of an affable anu
winning temperament. In the sunshine ol
her married life here. she leaves many friends
who mourn her loss, and keep alive the memo
ry other virtues.
To her sorrowing relatives there is hope OF
blessed reunion on that blissful shore
Where seraphS gather immortality.

Memory of G. r. Jackson.

"Gran Jackson" as he was familiarly call
ed, is dead. II Is hard TO realize that ne mas
gone, but the wrtor was with him while his
frail body was making Its last great struggle
with the dread reaper and saw death tri-
umphant in the unequal contest. His suffer.
iugS were great, but for many hours before his
death all pain had seemingly left him, and he
breathed his life away as gently as an infant
falls asleep. Even after death had set It's seal
upon him, there rested upon his face happy
contentmcnt, as If rejoicing that the dark riy-
er had been crossed and u view had OF the Slo-
riouS shores beyond
Capt. Jackson was about So years OF age, a
native of Tennessee. Before the war he en-.
gagged extensively in the sale OF fine stock and
and while thus engaged he met and married

daughter Of Mr.. John Davis who resided then
near Abbcville &. II, S. c. He was among the

an officer in the First Carolina Cavalry. AT.
ter the war he engaged III farming, ,and success
crowned his efforts He sold out his farming
interests and moved to his present home
Nincty-SiX, S. Gin 1878. and engaged In the
mercantile business and continued up TO the
time of his demise.
At the time OF his death he was n Director of

advancement of any public enterprise, win
his hand and purse. lie was member OF the
Masonic order and a Knight of Honor. AS
II soldier he was brave to fault; as friend
he was true and tried; as q foe he was open
and generous; as 4 Mason and Knight of
Honor he was Jealous and charitable, and as
husband and father he was kind ana consid-
crate. loving and tender. Such men as "Gran
Jackson" are rare In this world, and the in
scriptIun unon his tombstone should be:
Here lies an honest man." In the several
years of our intimate acquaintance with him.
VIC never knew him to do q mean act, and
when his heart was stilled and his mortal re-
mains committed to the dust, we felt that we
had lost earth's rarest treasure-a faithful
friend. We sympathizc deeply with the wild.
ow and his two sons, for death has robbed
them of their lpainstay, but they are not as
those who live without hope. He has only
gone before.
Farewell friend and brother! May the turf
trump shall sound the knell Of time, and the
earth and the sea shall give up their dead,
may we meet again, together with our loved
ones around the throne OF God. =.

The Cotton Farmer.

We presume in the history of Abbeville, for
the last thirty years, there has not been as
much corn In our cribs as there Is to-day.
We have never made us large crop Of sor-
ghum molasses.
We have the largest cotton crop that we
have had for years.
All these crops have been made with an un-
precedentedly small outlay. Our farmers
were less in debt for these crops than they
have been for years.
We have more pastures and more colts than
ever before.
These good results have been brought about
in this way:
/. Our farmers have worked harder this
year than they have done in many years.
2. The crops were easily worked.
8. The seasons were unusually favorable.
4. Our farmers are more and more impress.
ed with the necessity and profit of pastures
and stock. Many have greatly increased
their pastures and the number Of their stock
The diversified crops and closer application
to the farm work have brought their legiti
mate results
Let us show how the "allcotton farmer il
bound to be dead failure.
!. He does not commence to work unit
some time in March.
2. After the crop is planted he waits q
month for it to be ready 10 hoe or plow.
5. After the crop is laid by he waits anoth
er month or six weeks, for it to open, ready
for picking.
4. During all this work season he is spend
Ing about one-sixth of his time, with his
team, going to the stores for provisions.
S. He pays an enormous price for the priv
lege Of buying on credit.
6. His crop is usually gathered by tho mid
die of November, and he pretends to do little
or nothing before next March.
To "sum up" He works tive.sixths of his
time for seven months in the year. With five
months lost, added to the lien prices oi his
goods and the time lost in going after them
Is there any reason why he should fail?
The all-cotton farmer does not work all the
year. If he did he would find plenty Of time
to SOW barley, oats, wheat and build pasture
fences, and in the spring he could plant corn
